Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing tliis resource, we liave taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attributionTht GoogXt "watermark" you see on each file is essential for in forming people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe.
About Google Book Search

Dit is ccn digitale kopie van een boek dat al generatics lang op bibliothcckplankcn hccft gcstaan, maar nu zorgvuldig is gcscand door Google. Dat
docn wc omdat we alle boeken ter wereld online beschikbaar willcn makcn.
Dit bock is ua oud dat hct autcursrecht erop is verlopen, zodat hct bock nu deel uitmaakt van hct publickc domcin. Ecn bock dat tot hct publickc
domcin bchoort, is ccn bock dat nooit onder het auteursrecht is gevallen, of waarvan de wettelijkc autcursrcchttcrmijn is verlopen. Hct kan per land
vcrschillcn of ccn bock tot hct publieke domein behoort. Boeken in het publieke domein zijn ccn stem uit hct verlcden. Zc vormen ccn bron van
geschiedenis, cultuur en kennis die anders moeilijk te verkrijgen zou zijn.
Aantekeningen, opmerkingen en andere kanttekeningen die in het origineel stonden, worden weergegeven in dit bestand. als herinnering aan de
lange reis die hct boek hccft gemaakt van uitgever naar bibliotheek, en uiteindelijk naar u.
Richtlijnen voor gebruik
Google werkt samen met bibliothekcn om materiaal uit het publieke domein te digitaliseien, zodat het voor iedereen beschikbaar wordt. Boeken
uit het publickc domcin behoicn toe aan hct publiek; wij bewaren ze alleen. Dit is echter een kostbaar proces. Om deze dienst te kunnen blijven
levercn, hebben we maatrcgelcn genomen om misbruik door commercicle partijen te voorkomen, zoals het plaatsen van technische beperkingen op
automadsch zocken.
Verder vragen we u hct volgende:
+ Gebruik de besianden alleen voor niei-commerci^le doeleinden We hebben Zocken naar boeken met Google ontworpen voor gebruik door
individuen. We vragen u deze bestanden alleen te gebruiken voor pcrsoonlijkc en nict -commercicle doeleinden.
+ Voer geen geautomatiseerde zoekopdrachten uit Stuur geen geautomatiseerde zoekopdrachten naar het systeem van Google. Als u onderzoek
doct naar computcrvertalingen, optische tekenherkenning of andere wetenschapsgebieden waarbij u toegang nodig heeft tot grote hoeveelhe-
den tekst, kunt u contact met ons opnemen. Wc raden u aan hicrvoor materiaal uit hct publickc domcin te gebruiken, en kunnen u misschien
hicrmee van dienst zijn.
+ Laat de eigendomsverklaring staan Het "watcrmerk" van Google dat u onder aan elk bestand ziet, dient om mensen informatie over het
project te geven, en ze te helpen extra materiaal te vinden met Zocken naar boeken met Google. Verwijder dit watcrmerk nict.
+ Houd u aan de wet Wat u ook doet, houd cr rekening mee dat u er zelf verantwoordelijk voor bent dat alles wat u doct Icgaal is. U kunt er
niet van uitgaan dat wanneer een werk beschikbaar lijkt te zijn voor het publieke domein in de Verenigde Staten, het ook publiek domein is
voor gebniikers in andere landen. Of er nog auteursrecht op een boek mst, verschilt per land. We kunnen u niet vertellen wat u in uw geval
met een bepaald boek mag doen. Neem niet zomaar aan dat u een boek overal ter wereld op allerlei manieren kunt gebruiken, wanneer het
eenmaal in Zocken naar boeken met Google staat. De wettelijkc aansprakelijkheid voor auteursrechten is bchoorlijk streng.
Informatie over Zoeken naar boeken met Google
Het docl van Google is om alle informade wcrcldwijd toegankelijk en bruikbaar te maken. Zoeken naar boeken met Google helpt lezcrs boeken uit
allerlei landen te ontdekken, en helpt auteurs en ui tgevers om een nieuw leespubliek te bereiken. U kunt de voUedige tekst van dit boek doorzoeken

WILLEM HIDDINGH
REPRINT SERIES HERDRUK-REEKS
No. 5
University of Cape Town Library
V OOR WOOR D
Hierdie reeks word so genoem ter ere van WiHem
Hiddingh (1808-1899), 'n groot weldoener van die Suid-
Afrikaanse Biblioteek en die Biblioteke van die Univer-
siteit van Kaapstad, voorheen die Suid-Afrikaanse Kollege.
Die Biblioteke van die Universiteit van Kaapstad en
die Suid-Afrikaanse Biblioteek stel hul ten doel om,
in samewerking met ander biblioteke in Suid-Afrika,
materiaal wat in Suid-Afrika uitgegee is, maar wat
reeds lank uit druk is en wat dikwels in biblioteke
geraadpleeg word, maar waarvan herdrukke waarskynlik
nie sal verskyn nie, in hierdie reeks beskikbaar te stel.
Die doel is dan om van sulke Afrikana waarvan werks-
eksemplare vir daaglikse naslaanwerk of navorsing dringend
nodig is, afdrukke te maak, sodat die paar oorspronklike
eksemplare daardeur van verdere agteruitgang as gevolg
van gedurige gebruik, gered kan word.
FOREWORD
This series has been named in honour of Willem
Hiddingh (1808-1899), who was a great benefactor to the
South African Library and the University of Cape Town
Libraries, then the South African College.
The University of Cape Town Libraries and the South
African Library, in co-operation with other libraries in
South Africa, aim to make available in this series material
published in South Africa which has long been out of
print, which is consulted very frequently in libraries and
of which reprints are unlikely to appear. It is the
intention to reproduce items of Africana of which
working copies for daily reference or research are badly
needed, so that the few existing originals can thereby
be saved from further deterioration by continual usage.

The fphcrical figure of the earth being admitted, its motion

for that motion was derived f(om conildering, that if Uie earth

kftrbnomy in Greece, had made a fufticient progrefs in Uiii
Kienceto calcubile cclipfes, or interpofitions of the moon Le«
tWcen the earth and the fun, or of the earth between the full
lihd the ibooli. PyfkaeeraSf a native of Samos, flourift'ed
kbbdt fifty years afteir jiaits, ah<l was, no doubt, equally well
Ibtjuainted with the motion of the heavenly bodies. ^<— He
tbiK:elved an Idea, whii h there is no reafon to believe had
fii^r beeh fuggefied before, namely, that the earth itfelf wai

univerUlly maintained by the iperipatetic pntlofep o ers»' yfkf
were the nod conpderable fea in Europe, from the ttOM
of Ftoiomy to the revival of learning in the 'fixteenth centuiy.
At length, Copermau, a native of roland, a bold and ofrigind
genius, adopted ihe Pythagorean or true fynemuftheumver^
and publiihcd it to the wond in the year |543. This dodri
had remained fe long in pbfcurity, that the reftorer of
was coniidered fts the inventor,- and the fyftein otstain
fhe name of the Copernican Philofophy, though ody fiN
rived by that great man.
But Europe was dill immerfed in ignoraitce, und C^pendem
had many opponents. Tycho Brake, in particular, a imM(
Dane, fcnfibic .of the dded^ of the Ptolemaic fyftew, hut
unwilling to acknowledge the motion of the earth, endai
voured, about the year J 586, to eftabli^i a new -Mefli eF
bin own, which was ftill more perplexed nd eimifaiAef
thun that of FtoUn^. It allows a monthly motion lo tkf
jooon round the earthy as the centre of Us orbitj andioake^
flie fiin t» be the centre i»f the orbitf of Mercury. Ve nti^
iMars, Jupiter, and Sotiirn, The fun, liowcver, wiih all the
plaikcts, IS fup|>6led to be ¥/hitk*i round the eiiitli in a ^tar,
and even once in the twenljr-fcur hours. This l>lUm,
Jioth with Handing its al)rurdits nr«et with many adv<icate%
Lonzoittotitanun, and others to fer refined upon it» as to alinifc
U>e diurnal motion of the earth, thou|;h they infified that it had
BO annual motion.
About thift time, after a darkniTs of many ages, the first
dawn oi learning and taste began to a}>p('air in Europe,
l^earned men in diffvrei>t countries began to cultivate ultro*
nomy. Cnlilto, a Florentine, about the year l(>10, introduced
the ufe of lekTrtjpc!*, uhich affnrdid new ai'.iinK-nts in <up«
p<)rt of the nK4i<»n of the farth, and conHrn.cd the old ones.
The lury and bipitry .of the clergy, indeed, had almost
DiDed the fcicnce in its infancy ; and GaiiUo wa« obliged to
renounce i}\v C< j.ernican l^Iicm, a^ a damnable heref>' The
happy reformation in reIi>;ion, however, placcil a great part
of Europe bryc >nd the reach of the papal tliundcr. it tjught
m.mkhid that liie Scriptures were not given for explaining
fyflems of natural j)hilofopi'iy, but for a much nobler pur-
pole, -^o reiKler u<; just, virtuous, and iiumane; that, iniiead
